Review of Heaven Is for Real (2014) by Bshop — 15 Aug 2014
I guess you have to take this movie for what it is: a movie about a small-town church family dealing with a profound and uncommon event.
Typical for these small towns, the father is the senior minister, mother is the choir/music leader, children obviously are very religious and righteous people because of this.
What really pulls you in is how the father (the minister) reacts to his son being "in heaven". Really feel for the guy, as a person who does not have that experience (but sure would like it I bet). He's preaching this stuff, believing in it in some way, but his son lived and saw it with no intent of preaching it or validating.
In summary, worth a rent on a rainy day. If you like religious movies with a message, this one isn't as heavy-handed. You believe what you want to believe in the end really.
